After watching paid political announcements for the last couple of weeks, I have the impression that the Albany Insiders are some kind of professional sports team.

Fodor’s “Las Vegas 2010” travel guidebook informs us that there are some gambling resorts with pools where topless sunbathing is permitted. The book explains that these pools have cover charges and that just struck me as funny.

At 3:00 AM recently, the HUB cable channel broadcast the pilot episode of the early 90’s TV show, “The Wonder Years.” I DVR’d it and just got around to watching it. In fact, they’ve started running the whole series. What an outstanding show, from the first episode to the penultimate one. In the last episode, they graduated from high school, she moved to Paris to study art and they never saw each other again. In real life, I think one of them would have pursued the other, even if it meant Kevin went to Paris to surprise her and found her with someone else. The show that seemed so real to me for so long would have seemed more real if, at the end, it blew up and didn’t fizzle out.

I don’t know that anyone is right in the current dispute between Cablevision and Fox TV that will deprive me of National League playoff action until I go out of town, but I hate missing the games and I hate it when Cablevision changes my preferences on my cable box from their end and without my permission too.
